Create and apply custom image templates

Create custom templates in Image Designer and apply them to your images in Productsup.

Introduction

Productsup provides a collection of pre-designed global templates to let you edit your product images in Image Designer. The global templates are available to all customers. Instead of creating a template from scratch, you can select a needed global template and edit it with the tools of Image Designer.

You can choose from the following global templates:

Global Templates
  • Dynamic Multiple Images

  • Dynamic Long

  • Close-Up Material

  • Side Slant

  • Sale

  • Dynamic Three Images

  • Dynamic

  • Blank Image

  • Three (3) Travel templates
